The Supreme Court has issued notice to the Centre and CBI on a petition seeking SIT probe into allegations of attempted judge-fixing in a medical colleges racket. The allegations include an attempt to collect bribes to supposedly fix a matter which was being heard by a three-judge bench led by the Chief Justice of India.
The first puisne judge, Justice Chelameswar has referred it to a five-judge (constitution) bench of the five senior most judges of the Supreme Court apart from the Chief Justice of India, Justice Dipak Misra, who had been hearing the matter which is under a cloud. The five senior most judges after the CJI are Justices Jasti Chelameswar, Ranjan Gogoi, Madan Lokur, Kurian Joseph and AK Sikri.
The petition asks for a special investigation team to be formed to probe into allegations of attempts to bribe Supreme Court judges to allow the registration of medical colleges.
